He didn’t solve the old problem, he made a new data structure and kept an old algorithm. If you stick with the initial pattern, the same problem in information transmission across the gaps in the structure remain. If you fill gaps in a medium, info can cross. Whaaat This does not highlight how clever this mathematician is so much as reveal how banal the initial problem was.
